Chapter 1242

Boom!

With each step the blood‑clad woman took, terrifying Dao Resonance ripples erupted in the void, and an indescribable great force surged toward the ten directions.

In the boundless starry sky, brilliant starlight swayed, incomparably magnificent.

This utterly beautiful silhouette seemed to become the only thing in the starry sky!

Ji Fuyao, Qingqiu, and Yang Ling'er all looked toward the blood‑clad silhouette in the void, feeling a tremor in their hearts.

Dieyue is too strong!

This is only a trickle of the overwhelming pressure pouring out, yet it creates such terrifying turmoil in the void.

Just how strong is her true battle power?

Lu Xuan, holding Little Nannan, also slowly rose; Little Nannan's big eyes sparkled with stars, she giggled, and thought to herself, 'I did it.'

In the past, Lu Xuan showed her concern and granted her the boundless opportunity of the Great Dao of Time, whereupon she made a great vow.

That is, to protect Lu Xuan, her elder brother, in the future!

She did it!

That opportunity of the Great Dao of Time was so heaven‑defying that even if placed in the Butterfly World, the Giant Palm World, or even more distant starry skies, it would be enough to stir up a bloody storm.

The blood‑clad woman stepped out of Weiyang Heaven in a single stride, and with another step of her jade foot she arrived at the level ground of Gu Clan Heaven.

Her gaze merely swept over the Gu Clan Heaven.

In this heavenly domain, dense towering stone statues stood like tombstones planted among the stars; the rich aura of gu creatures emitted five‑colored light, flooding the star sea like divine rainbows.

Boom!

Crack!

Who knows how many stone statues were instantly pulverized!

This was merely a glance!

Who dares to act wantonly in my Gu Clan Heaven?

A venerable voice suddenly sounded, and then several Nine‑Star Dao Void experts stepped forth from the void, each holding lethal gu‑type weapons bristling with killing intent.

The blood‑clad woman remained silent, merely fixing her gaze on a few Gu Clan experts for an instant.

Pfft‑pfft‑pfft!

Several Nine‑Star Dao Void experts had their bodies explode outright, the numerous gu creatures within them spilling out, then instantly shattered and annihilated by the Dao Resonance in her gaze.

Instantly killed!

Not only that, the stars behind them were directly corroded by the power of time, becoming withered and doomed, turning into omens of death.

Seeing this, numerous Gu Clan experts were shocked on the spot.

This blood‑clad woman is simply too powerful!

Just a glance will cause an explosion!

Looking makes mountains collapse, looking makes stars fall; the power of time obliterates everything.

At that moment, a stone statue of Gu Yue Laozi suddenly lit up; his expression was solemn, his eyes seemingly turned toward the blood‑clad woman, and he asked softly.

Dieyue, are you sure you want to start this battle with me?

His tone was flat, like that of two enemies who had fought for endless ages.

Dieyue remained silent, suddenly turned, stepped with her jade foot, and left directly.

However, behind her, the Gu Clan Heaven saw vast numbers of stars shatter directly into powder!

Numerous Gu Clan experts looked in shock at the stone statue of Gu Yue Laozi, saying, 'Ancestor, what should we do?'

Gu Yue Laozi remained calm, saying, 'It's fine. Her incarnate strength is nearly exhausted; her target is the Gui Palace.'

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Dieyue had left, the terrifying Dao Resonance storm she stirred up swept out from the Gu Clan Heaven, its momentum vast beyond compare, shaking the entire upper realm.

Everyone felt tremendously shocked; from the earlier conversation between Dieyue and Gu Yue Laozi, it seemed they had known each other for a long time.

Gu Yue Laozi descended from the outside world onto the World Tree; thus, they must have clashed long ago, even before endless ages.

Heavens!

Dieyue is already this strong; it follows that Gu Yue Laozi can only be strong, not weak!

Moments later, Dieyue's jade foot continued forward; a single step carried her far beyond the Gu Clan Heaven.

Straight toward the Gui Palace!

She had taken fewer than ten steps when she already descended near the star sea of the Gui Palace.

Suddenly she turned again, smiled enchantingly, spoke softly, and her words reached Ji Fuyao and the others: 'If you are curious about me, you may come to the Butterfly World. Chen Zhangsheng has already been there, though he did not linger long; he can bring you over.'

She issued the invitation!

Ji Fuyao, Qingqiu, and Yang Ling'er exchanged glances.

Chen Zhangsheng's face twitched.

Ji Fuyao's gaze burned bright, as if two flames flickered in her spirit eyes.

She felt a stir of inclination.

Chen Zhangsheng said, 'Senior Sister, if you want to go to the Butterfly World, you may; I too would like to make another trip there.'

Qingqiu inclined her snow‑white neck slightly, nodded, and said, 'Senior Sister, please go first and have a look for us.'

Yang Ling'er also nodded.

Meanwhile, deep in the Gui Clan's star sea, the Dark Palace lay entrenched, its aura swallowing myriad miles; the Dark Ancestor was in conference with the various pulse elders, the Xuanji Holy Lord, the Nether Formation elder, and others.

Now they have obtained the ultimate formation pattern of Weiyang Heaven; the next step is to launch a full‑scale assault on Weiyang Heaven and initiate the Burial‑Heaven Plan.

The Eclipse Yuan Ancestor gave a cold chuckle, saying, 'Now the advantage is mine; holding such a formation pattern, plus the World Tree already weakened beyond repair, taking down the World Tree is a foregone conclusion.'

He had not finished speaking when the atmosphere in the Dark Palace plummeted to freezing point.

The Ancestor of Dark Sorrow, and the ancestors of all the veins, all turned their gazes toward outside the Ghost Palace Star Sea.

That blood-red robe in the starry sky was like a blood-red flower bud blossoming; the power of ages and the power of dreams surged in all directions—just one person, and their might was enough to swallow heaven and devour earth.

The blood-robed woman had not yet acted; merely the might of Dao Resonance dispersed the endless eerie mist.

As if a bloody moon rose into the sky, incomparably gorgeous, killing intent surged to the heavens!

Outside the Ghost Palace Star Sea, the black mist that had accumulated endless ages began to dissipate, revealing the true appearance of the starry sky, but it was no longer azure.

The starry sky had already turned black, no longer returning to a brilliant azure.

Moreover, a great number of stars, eroded by the eerie power, had become bizarre and grotesque, extraordinarily rugged; once the black mist had cleared, it was as if an ugly giant beast lay sprawled across the starry sky.

"Those who come are not kind!"

The Ancestor of Dark Sorrow furrowed his brows and said.

The ancestors of all the veins showed a hint of anger on their faces, and likewise a hint of astonishment.

I never expected that this blood-robed woman would dare to descend upon the Ghost Palace alone!

If she wished to act, she could clearly have targeted the Gu Yuan Heaven, yet she deliberately chose their Ghost Palace.

"How?"

Treating their Ghost Palace as a soft persimmon!!

Xuanji Holy Lord's beautiful eyes slightly furrowed; she was contemplating the relationship between Dieyue and Lu Xuan.

Meanwhile, far from the blood-robed woman, Xuekun suddenly tore through the void, then concealed its form and began to spy in secret.

"Hehehe, this blood-robed woman previously slaughtered in all directions in Yunlan Heaven, and now she has actually come to kill in the Ghost Palace!"

Xuekun has long harbored a deep hatred for the Ghost Palace.

Only because.

His many clansmen were enslaved, surging into the fractured realm; moreover, when the Ghost Palace crossed the Reverse-flow River back then, they also relied on the spatial divine power of their Kun clan.

In the next instant.

Dieyue directly stepped into the Ghost Palace.

On the periphery of the starry sky, the stationed Ghost clan powerhouse let out a loud shout, directly leading many Ghost clan members to charge out, mighty and vast like a black torrent, when a roar suddenly rang out: "How dare you step into my Ghost Palace's starry sky—are you seeking death?!"
